Add .GitInfo variable for latest commit

hwittenborn commented 2 years ago

I'd like to have the latest commit in my Git repository at the bottom of my footer that can act as a quick link to the latest change.

Unlike the current system, I don't want this to be specific to a certain page, I just want the latest commit in my current branch to be shown.

You can do this today by setting env vars...

template code

``` {{ with site.Params.git.last_commit }}

Last commit:

Author: {{ .authorname }}
Date: {{ .date }}
Hash: {{ .hash }}
Subject: {{ .subject }}

{{ end }} ```

get-last-commit.sh

``` #!/usr/bin/env bash export HUGOxPARAMSxGITxLAST_COMMITxAUTHORNAME=$(git log -1 --format=%an) export HUGOxPARAMSxGITxLAST_COMMITxDATE=$(git log -1 --format=%cI) export HUGOxPARAMSxGITxLAST_COMMITxHASH=$(git log -1 --format=%H) export HUGOxPARAMSxGITxLAST_COMMITxSUBJECT=$(git log -1 --format=%s) ```

To build your site:

source get-last-commit.sh 
hugo server

This will show the latest commit. For example:

Author: John Doe
Date: 2022-04-02T09:03:36-07:00
Hash: 3707c2b020903d4fd7c55929c7765f7eadf0d2db
Subject: Update Node.js dependencies

My only problem with that is that it doesn't feel as integrated as the current .GitInfo setup. With that, I don't need to set any environment variables, and I think it'd help if this behaved the same so I don't need to set an environment variables on every build (which could be tedious for contributors to my Hugo sites).

for windows in cmd this does not work, ther you must find another solution (
i have tested and adapted

batch-file e.g. set_git_commit_info.bat with content:

@echo off
for /f %%G in ('git rev-parse --short HEAD') do Set HUGOxPARAMSxGITxLAST_COMMITxHASH=%%G
git log -1 --format=%%%an  >> out.tmp
for /f "tokens=1 delims=:" %%G in (out.tmp) do set HUGOxPARAMSxGITxLAST_COMMITxAUTHORNAME=%%G
del out.tmp
git log -1 --format=%%%cI  >> out.tmp
for /f "tokens=1 delims=:" %%G in (out.tmp) do set HUGOxPARAMSxGITxLAST_COMMITxDATE=%%G
del out.tmp
git log -1 --format=%%%s  >> out.tmp
for /f "tokens=1 delims=:" %%G in (out.tmp) do set HUGOxPARAMSxGITxLAST_COMMITxSUBJECT=%%G
del out.tmp
echo. -----------------------------------------------------
echo. hash .....: %HUGOxPARAMSxGITxLAST_COMMITxHASH%
echo. authorname: %HUGOxPARAMSxGITxLAST_COMMITxAUTHORNAME%
echo. date .....: %HUGOxPARAMSxGITxLAST_COMMITxDATE%
echo. subject   : %HUGOxPARAMSxGITxLAST_COMMITxSUBJECT%

ouput:

gohugoio / hugo
